Dwayne has refused many invitations to act in commercials and film to wait for the moment his baby girl appears. He also plans to stay home to take care of his child, say goodbye to parties and invitations from friends. Pink is honored
The 38-year-old singer appeared radiantly on the cover of Peole magazine alongside her two children with the title of Beauty of the Year, another name for the Most Beautiful Woman in the World award. This magazine has changed its judging criteria, because this is not a beauty contest. They chose to honor beautiful women and even men - people with beautiful qualities such as strength, humanity and artistry. Pink didn't have much to do this year, but she's a great artist, a great mother, funny and confident. Her demeanor convinced the judges. Before Pink, many artists received this award: Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwynetha Paltrow... Thien An |
